Hey, Dirk. I'm Adrian.

    "Hey there, Dirk, is it? Adrian. Good to meet you. Now, I know me and you never had the chance to talk before, but as you can imagine I'm going around getting to know my fellow Serpens. Big things are coming up soon! Elections. I gotta say, I'm proud of your drive, Dirk. Mark of a true Serpens, taking a shot to get up there. It's a shame there weren't enough qualifying votes, but I'm sure you understand. I needed every last say I could get to stay in this game.

    "But enough about the past. We've got elections coming up soon! So, don't forget to vote! I know your word is valuable and it can be put in a place to best suit both of us, right, Dirk? I think so. We should work together on this, you and me. Once I'm elected, know I have your back, mm? A little quid pro quo, only I'm the one indebted! Who ever pulls that one, eh?

    "Besides, you don't want that Kyle guy running things. He's only in it to look out for number one. Maybe his number two, I concede. But he's too rough around the edges, totally not approachable. You really think he'll do things in your interest? I'd think about that...

    "Anyway, I took up enough of your time. I'll let you be. Things to plan for. Important decisions to make. I know how it is. I'll be around if you need me."
